Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testAn impressive soothing and cooling eye gel, this Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel NAC Y2 helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles, minimises puffiness and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, all while intensely hydrated parched cells with much-needed moisture. Like 111SKIN's entire range, the efficacy of this Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel NAC Y2 reduces the visibility of dark circles, minimises fine lines and wrinkles and quickly softens the appearance of fine lines with continued use. Perfect post-cleanse, press this into the delicate eye area and along the orbital bone and reap the rewards. The gel formula delivers welcome cooling and calming effects on just-woke-up puffy skin, a must-have for night owls! We're in love.
Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel NAC Y2 is a lightweight serum from 111Skin. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 25 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Panthenol and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Panthenol, Water and Sorbitol.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Tocopherol and Niacinamide.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes before moisturiser. Tap along the orbital bone with your ring finger; product migrates upward on its own.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
